A review by reader_rida
The Night Guest by Hildur Knútsdóttir

3.0

I like reading clean endings where everything comes to a conclusion but I wasn't prepared enough for this psychological horror. Idunn is an unreliable narrator because of the sleep walking so I think the ending of this book is intentionally open to interpretation, allowing us as readers to decide what we believe happened. The narration is so unreliable that even the page numbers are sometimes there and, other times, they disappear. The abrupt ending makes me think Idunn had a psychotic breakdown which left me feeling so uneasy and I was completely taken off guard. This book is a whole package if you are looking to read something that's mind bending.
